Guo Wenying nodded, this number of people is enough, and it is not a real fight, and pulling it out to support the scene can scare a few people to death.

She went back to the house and changed her clothes, and when she came out again, she was already dressed as a general, wearing a military uniform on her upper body, and she was covered with leather software, but she had a wide belt around her waist, which seemed to wrap her entire waist inside, which looked very weird.

Xu Heng looked at her and his eyes were a little straight, "My lord, what are you doing here?"

Guo Wenying said: "Order all your people and go to Wenzhou with me." ”

Wenzhou is not close to here, and it is not far away, but it is on the ground in Zhejiang, and it belongs to the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Xu Hengdao: "What are you doing in Wenzhou?"

Guo Wenying didn't speak, but asked people to find Lu Yiyu and instructed him to bring the people he had captured from the two salt farms in Fujian and Zhejiang a few days ago.

He knew in his heart what Guo Wenying wanted to do, the snake hit seven inches, and at this juncture, it was not possible to directly confront the Zhang family, she went to Wenzhou, and naturally went to the Zhang family's mansion. It's just that he knew her current physical condition, so he couldn't help but persuade in a low voice: "My lord, it's not impossible to let Xu Heng go to this matter, why should my lord go on a trip himself?"

Guo Wenying shook her head, if she couldn't go, she wouldn't want to go, but Xu Heng was just a military general in the end, and it was not appropriate for him to come forward with this kind of family raid, and only if she personally led the team could he stop the scene.

The team left Fuzhou City and walked to Wenzhou City, but just after Lishui, Guo Wenying suddenly stopped and ordered to turn around to Hangzhou.

Xu Heng was puzzled, in fact, Guo Wenying was also thinking about it on the road before he understood, they had such a vigorous past, even if they could suppress the arrogance of the Zhang family for a while? In the final analysis, the Zhang family was only one of the many salt insects in the south, although it was the largest one, but even if the Zhang family was overthrown, it would have too great an impact on the overall situation. Especially most importantly, they don't have enough evidence.

Therefore, the most important thing is to find evidence, and Hangzhou is definitely the biggest breakthrough.

Xu Heng had been with her for many years, and knew that her temperament was capricious many times, so he didn't dare to have any objections, and immediately ordered the army to change routes.

All the way to Hangzhou, the saddle horse was tired, Guo Wenying rested for a whole day to ease up, in the end, his body is not as good as before, and he didn't dare to be too tired. Her uncle Lu Junyan also recently arrived in Hangzhou and became a school inspector in Zhejiang, although he is far from the center of power, nothing will happen. When I arrived in Hangzhou this time, I stayed at my uncle's house. Let Xu Heng leave the people and horses he brought outside the city to wait, and she will stay in Hangzhou for at least seven or eight days.

Early the next morning, she began to summon officials from Hangzhou, who did not know what the Governor had suddenly arrived, and they all waited carefully.

Guo Wenying only exchanged a few words with them, and finally left the prefect of Hangzhou.

This Hangzhou prefect Chen Wanxi is the big fat man Guo Wenying met on the road, he is also a salt merchant, with a fat head and big ears, like a happy Buddha.

Guo Wenying seemed very close to him, calling "Lord Chen" one by one, as if he regarded her as a friend. She also brought Lu Junyan along, followed the wine, and invited this Lord Chen to dinner in the Lu Mansion.

Chen Wanxi thought that the Governor looked at her differently, and she didn't know how beautiful she was, and she danced during the banquet, and was poured a few glasses of wine by Lu Junyan, and immediately didn't even know who she was.

Guo Wenying took the opportunity to say: "Lord Chen, this official came to Hangzhou this time to meet the big and small salt merchants in Hangzhou, I wonder if Lord Chen can convene it?"

Chen Wanxi hurriedly said: "My lord has a fate, I don't dare to disobey, this Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce President Ma Ruyun is a big salt businessman, and the lower officials can invite this President Ma to come and visit." ”

Guo Wenying nodded in agreement, and she didn't have to wait for the next day, she met President Ma in the Lu Mansion that day.

Ma Ruyun is a short and fat middle-aged man, in his forties, with a wisp of mustache, and his eyes are very rich when he smiles. The head of his salt merchant was extremely powerful in Hangzhou and even in the whole of Jiangnan, and sometimes even the prefect had to listen to him. If he said a word, the entire officialdom would tremble, if it weren't for Chen Wanxi to speak, she really didn't know that there was such a figure in Hangzhou.

The guest sat down, and Guo Wenying went directly to the topic. She took something out of her arms and handed it over, "Does President Ma know what this is?"

It was a salt citation, and the so-called salt quotation was a voucher for the merchant to go to the salt field to support salt. Each quotation number is divided into two volumes, before and after, and is divided into two parts from the middle after being stamped, and the latter volume is given to the merchant, which is called "threading paper", which is also used as salt quotation; This one is the back volume.

This salt quote is just an introduction, and it is also a brick thrown in order to check the salt tax in the future. In the previous dynasty, each salt lead could receive 160 catties of salt, and the price was six times. At that time, the supervision was not strict, and there were indeed some unscrupulous businessmen who colluded with the government to buy and sell salt indiscriminately, buy and sell illegal salt, and did not pay taxes to the state. Since the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the salt law is the shore method, and the local government bureaus sell 400 catties of salt for each introduction, and pay 4 taels or 5 coins of silver. In layman's terms, if a merchant wants to transport salt, he first buys salt and then obtains the right to transport salt openly and becomes a businessman.

This kind of supervision is much stricter than the original, but there are still loopholes, otherwise the salt tax that would not have been collected is far from expectations, but it is not yet known where the loopholes are.

This kind of thing Ma Ruyun almost every day, seeing his eyes flashing, "What are you going to do?"

Guo Wenying took the salt lead and smiled brightly, "This official just wants to do some salt business, President Ma shouldn't shirk it." ”

Ma Ruyun was stunned, "What salt business?"

Guo Wenying said with a smile: "There are now 10,000 pieces of salt in the hands of this official, and it shouldn't be difficult to exchange this for some grain with a few people." In the first dynasty, there was a rule that one stone and three liters of rice could be exchanged for salt, and then the salt was led to the two Huaidu to transfer salt and sold in the designated prefecture and governor's area. ”

Ma Ruyun gasped, this year, the imperial court has become more and more strict in its control over salt introduction, and it is not easy to get a salt quotation. As a last resort, they colluded with the government to secretly steal and sell illicit salt, and although they made a lot of profits, they were making money with their heads after all. If they could really get this batch of salt from the hands of the Qincha, it would be the amount they had to operate for a year, which would be very good.

But with years of experience in the shopping mall, he knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and Guo Wenying wants to check the salt is not a matter of a day or two, he has long been wary in his heart, and asked carefully: "I don't know where the salt comes from?"
